Keeping My Fingers Crossed...

The first non-governmental organization application for 1% For The Planet has been submitted for Green Formosa Front.

The organization's mission is to advocate social and corporate responsibility through introducing environmentally friendly legislation, holding public hearings, and calling for the punishment of major polluters. For the past couple of weeks, I have been working with Tung-Jye Wu and Roxanne Chen from GFF, learning about some of their current projects. They include plans for organic education and lunch program at select elementary schools, policy research on organic agriculture, Earth Day 2008 Music Festival, etc.

We are eagerly awaiting word from 1% FTP's approval to add GFF to its list of nonprofit members.
